Class Agenda 6/11-6/17

This week we will be analyzing the historical events presented by the film Forrest Gump (edited version).  As we watch the movie, will make daily observations of historical events, and how those events connect to the topics that we have learned about over the past several weeks.  Each student will be responsible for a movie critique, an interpretation of the feather (from the opening scene), and we will even write a new "chapter" of the movie choosing an event for Forrest to be written into between 1984-present...  This is the FINAL grade of Social Studies 8! Click here for the handout.

Thank You, Marion Blumenthal Lazan!
